Is this person good with math? Maybe point her to the mathematical theory of population genetics, with its estimates of how rapidly advantageous changes can sweep through a population (much faster than a geological time scale.) From there, it's more a matter of wondering why species stay the same, rather than wondering how it is they can change.
